Very interesting details, tdracer!

As far as training is concerned, when the accident happened, apparently the simulators still had a failure mode of REV deployed inflight. After the modification of the real 767 aircraft system, so that REV deployment inflight was really moved into the 10 to the minus umpteen regime, the failure mode was removed from the simulators. By the time I had a sim session and wanted to "try" whether an inflight deployment would be recoverable, it was no longer possible to have the failure simulated.
Reading the replies from tdracer, I assume the simulator fidelity of the REV deployed inflight scenario would not have been realistic anyway.
